This decision follows a thorough evaluation and was determined to be in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders.<\/p>\n<p>The ETF will cease trading on NYSE Arca at the close of regular trading on April 7, 2025 (the \u201cClosing Date\u201d).

After April 7, 2025, shareholders may only sell shares to select broker-dealers, with no assurance of an active market during this period.<\/p>\n<p>Between April 7, 2025 and April 11, 2025 (the \u201cLiquidation Date\u201d), SPAX will liquidate its portfolio, increasing its cash holdings, which will result in portfolio holdings deviating from the fund&#8217;s stated investment objectives.<\/p>\n<p>On or around the Liquidation Date, SPAX will distribute its remaining assets as cash pro rata to shareholders of record who have not sold or redeemed their shares. This distribution will generally be treated as a taxable event, and shareholders should consult their tax advisers to understand the implications of capital gains or losses. Additionally, the liquidation may include accrued capital gains and dividends. After these distributions, the fund will officially terminate.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>About Tidal Financial Group<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p>Formed by ETF industry pioneers and thought leaders, Tidal Investments LLC is dedicated to revolutionizing ETF development, launch, marketing, and sales.
